"What did you get, Ramza? What did you get?" becomes "What was your end in all this, Ramza? I...I got this." after Delita gets stabbed and kills Ovelia.
:(
I still feel sorry for Ovelia, even ten years after first having played the game. She got used by everyone, in the end.

Such an incredible game :(
I'm starting to like the new translation at least.

The old one was really bad, in retrospect. This is a great game. It's weird how the two most important characters (Delita and Ramza) rarely intersect after the first chapter, even though what they're doing inadvertently affects what happens to the other.
I don't think it's aged as well as I'd hoped it would (it gets really unbalanced at the end when you get the special story characters like T.G. Cid, and you never have to use the characters you've created) but I'd still love to get a legitimate sequel of this (i.e., not the kiddie-fied GBA and DS spinoffs).
The new translation makes it clear that Delita loved Ovelia, but wasn't above using her to satisfy his own ends. And Ovelia had gotten so used to being manipulated she couldn't stand the thought of being married to someone who used everyone around him like Delita did. I wish we got more insight into Delita and Ovelia other than the short cut scenes in the game. Their story was as interesting as Ramza's, IMO.

Most definitely. The story seems way more filled out. A lot of motives were very unclear in the original.
And I do agree, it hasn't aged as well as I'd hoped, but it's still very fun. Miles above most of the crap out now.
It's also very unbalanced in the very beginning when you start new jobs. It makes the transition from their default jobs to new jobs incredibly hard.

I finished the game and I didn't get a bunch of classes...Dark Knight, Arithmetician, Summoner...I just didn't bother with those.

One of the best endings ever.

You dont need any of those worthless advanced jobs. Just your basic Mages, Chemist (w/gun), Ramza as a Monk, and the story characters that join is all you need.
